Özet
Aim: Prevention of infiltration/extravasation (I/E) in pediatric patients is important. This study has examined the effect of an educationprogram, which aims to prevent and manage pediatric I/E, on I/E rates in pediatric patients.Materials and Methods: This is a semi-experimental study with a single group pre-test/post-test design. A sample of 79 nursing staff and 289 IVcatheters of 150 pediatric patients was investigated. Pediatric I/E training was given to the nurses and the effectiveness of the training programand I/E rates before and after the training were evaluated.Results: Compared to the pre-education phase, there was a significant increase in the mean scores of the nurses’ knowledge in the posteducation phase (t: 7,328; p<0.001). The education program was implemented based on the probability rate that was calculated by theresearchers; this enabled a 12-fold reduction of pediatric I/E (odds ratio: 12,214, 95% confidence interval).Conclusion: This study has led to an improvement in nursing care, an improvement in the quality of patient care and has helped progress towardincreased patient safety.
